The Mess Around Is Here!

The Mess Around (feat. Chela Mancuso)
The new single from Chris Swan is here!  

The Mess Around is a song about living a sober life in an alcoholic world. I quit drinking 2.5 years ago, but some people still want me to be part of the party. This is a song for all former drinkers as a declaration to the pushers that we don't mess around anymore. We got things to do. 

This song also features a very talented singer/songwriter from St. Louis.  Her name is Chela Mancuso and she is awesome!

Pain Is Here!

Pain
The new single from Chris Swan is here!  

I have been a big dude my whole life. And as I get older, it has started to cause more and more pain in my life. Physical and emotional. My song "Pain" is dedicated to all the people who have had this struggle in their life. We know we need to change, but we just can't seem to do it. We know we are killing ourselves, but that still doesn't seem to be enough. I am here to tell you that you can change. It's closer than you think.

Creed and Vision Is Here!

Creed and Vision
The new single from Chris Swan is here!  

I have struggled with being confident and I use to overcompensate by tearing myself down. My song "Creed and Vision" is a hip-hop mantra that we can all say to ourselves daily to remind us we need to be confident AND humble every day. And despite what I use to think, it is possible and even necessary to be both to become the people we were created to be.

H.O.P.E. Is Here!

H.O.P.E.
The new single from Chris Swan is here!  

Life is stressful. People are tense. The political climate in our country is volatile. And I don't think I have ever seen so much division in our country as I do now. And if you aren't careful, you can be easily swept up in this ball of stress and start to believe the world is doomed. But I am here to tell you that hope is alive and well.

This Is Me from The Greatest Showman

Oh man.

SONGS THAT HELP BY SOUL MOTIVATION RECORDS

Have you seen it yet?  I'm sure it will go down as one of the greatest movies of 2018.  It's The Greatest Showman and it is definitely great!  Inspiring, hopeful, beautiful, funny, really entertaining, this movie does not disappoint.  And today's Song That Helps is the standout track from that soundtrack "This Is Me."  This song is the epitome of what a great song can be.  Musically dynamic with great production and powerhouse vocals on top.  All screaming a message of being proud of who you are and that everyone deserves success.  I mean, how great is that?  Have you left to go see the movie yet?!  Well, if not, take a listen to the song first!

Look out 'cause here I come.  This is me.

Try by Pink

OK, it's time for another guilty pleasure song....

SONGS THAT HELP BY SOUL MOTIVATION RECORDS

Some people love pop music.  Some people think it is all cheesy and elementary.  I am somewhere in the middle but I definitely think simple pop songs have their place in the world.  As a matter of fact, sometimes it is the simple pop songs that speak the most truth into our lives.  Sometimes it is that simple song with simple words that you need to hear right at a certain moment.  This is one of those songs for me.  Sometimes we just need to hear Pink tell us to "get up and try."

Where there is desire, there is going to be a flame.  Where there is a flame someone's bound to get burned.  But just because it burns doesn't mean you're going to die.  You gotta get up and try and try and try.

Pink is a wise woman.

You Are Not Alone by Michael Jackson

Man I miss Michael Jackson.

SONGS THAT HELP FROM SOUL MOTIVATION RECORDS

No doubt one of the greatest entertainers of all time, I think Michael Jackson's ballads are sometimes overlooked.  Listening to Michael sing "you are not alone" feels deep and real.  I always feel like he is singing to me.  That was the magic of Michael Jackson.  Even though he is gone, he left us with so much musical magic to draw upon when we need it.  This is one I go to often.  It reminds me of the truth, I am not alone.  You are never alone.  I'm here and so is the whole world.  We are with you.  Always.

Thanks Michael.
